Hey Momma Hey Momma, did the bluebird wake you up this morning? Did he tell you I was on my way, headed down the Mountain Parkway? I told him not to tell you this time. Hey Momma, are the red buds bloomin’ there this morning? Is the sun comin’ down the hill, restin’ on the window sill, like an old friend that shows up right on time? Hey Momma, you’re the best friend of mine. It’s springtime in my KY home. And you know that’s right where I belong. Listenin’ to the rooster crow and tellin’ tales of long ago. On your front porch is where I long to be. In the springtime in Eastern Kentucky. In Eastern Kentucky, in a valley down so low, still stands the homestead that I left so long ago. I can’t help but sing about all the joy it brings. When I get back to see the folks at home in the spring. Hey Momma, are the stars bright up in the sky this evenin’? Can you hear that sweet melody of the frogs and crickets in the creek, singing you that mountain lullaby? Hey Momma, I’ll be there before the coffee’s done in the morning. I’ll come on in and wake you up. We’ll walk around and look at buttercups, that we planted last year around this time. Yeah Momma you’re the best friend of mine.
